Each of the actresses knows that art always needs victims. In the world of cinema there are also such famous actresses who sacrificed art can bring even their beauty and from a beautiful swan to reincarnate in the most real ugly duckling. Of course, this transformation takes a short time, but despite this - a low bow to them for such courage.
Nicole Kidman
This actress in the full sense of the word is simply obsessed with beauty, good figure and elegance - she allows herself to sit on such diets that even spetsnaz fighters can not, and so much "Botox", how many she has injected herself, will not allow wrinkles appear until 90 years for sure! And this is not saying that without a fashionable hat, she never in her life allows herself to appear in public. And if such a woman agrees to the role of the popular English writer Virginia Woolf in the film called "Watch" (2002), which is presented in this picture, as a rough aunt with a terrible nose, then she really needs something from life. Anougen was Nicole Kidman "Oscar" and she still managed to become the owner of this honorable award. Of course, self-torture from the actress was not required - they used a special prosthesis, which increases the nose. By the way, he also almost got a nose, he did not receive an Oscar, getting in the nomination "Best Makeup for Cinema". This false nose actress left herself on a long memory and even managed several times to "attach" him to her face and to leave the plain, with the goal of feeling on herself how to really be an unattractive woman. As the actress later confessed, she did not like the result much!
Sharon Stone
In the film "Broken Flowers" (2005), where she got an episodic role and she had to go on a more sultry act than Gwyneth Paltrow - to show oneself what it is, not what it can be. The actress can not even be recognized right away - her body has no elasticity at all, she does not have precise contours and contours, her neck is very far from the concept of "swan", and once the "cutting" look has become more dulled. At the time when the main heroine of the "Basic Instinct" used drugs or alcohol, she seemed to have fallen from these bad habits with a special and ferocious energy. But as regards the heroine of the "Broken Flowers", she has the appearance of an ordinary woman who likes to drink (and, moreover, a lot) - a misty look, an open mouth and night snoring in the pillow. Stone is rich, famous and intelligent woman, which even the majority of the stronger sexes recognize, but taking into account all these qualities, she never managed to achieve one single thing-she was never included in the list of good actresses. And only after the role in "Broken Flowers" people really could make sure that Sharon Stone has a talent for a fine acting game. So for the sake of this and it was worth reincarnating!
Tilda Swinton
Honorable praise for his courage is undoubtedly worthy of Tilda Swinton. Agree that very few representatives of the fair sex will dare to show themselves not only in ugly, but also in nude? Tilda is not just a woman and an actress, she is a hereditary Scottish aristocrat and part-time one of the brightest representatives of the British beau monde. But despite her status, the actress was undressed in the film with a bogus budget "Young Adam" (2003) and an aristocratic woman turned into an ugly woman with protruding ribs, a fallen breast, gnarled legs with a sagging belly. And all this Tilda did because of patriotism! The film was Scottish, and after the scandalous film "On the Needle" people began to quietly forget about the Scottish cinematography.
Charlize Theron
A typical Aryan beauty, sportswoman, ballerina and model. This woman is very difficult to play the role of "ugly duckling". But if you want a confession, you must! And the actress made a bet on the movie "Monster" (2003), which narrated about a very ugly serial killer. Cute face Theron concealed under the makeup, and the figure, which was supposed to resemble a "bag of potatoes," the actress had to do herself: half a year the actress ate one fried card and scored a total of 15 extra pounds. Having sacrificed a figure, Charlize Theron received not only world recognition from critics, but also "Oscar", and the status of the highest paid actress. The former actress turned herself very quickly, but the glory remained!
Salma Hayek
Sultry, sexy, irresistible, hot - the most suitable words for Salma Hayek. Why such a cutie trying on an image of an ugly historical character - the famous Mexican artist Frida Kallo, who had the nickname "hairy Mexican". Her voluminous eyebrows and thick fluff on her upper lip and cheeks terrified her. Plus, Frida was limping on one leg. But not looking at all this, she enjoyed great success among the representatives of the stronger sex, and even Lev Trotsky was delighted with her. Salma wanted "Oscar" and therefore agreed to play the main character in the same film "Frida" (2002). In addition to the nomination for the award, the actress received nothing. Avot niece of Frida, for a good game actress, gave her an expensive necklace.
Rene Zelwager
It is rumored that after the release of the "Bridget Jones Diary" (2001), women on the street grabbed Renee Zelwerger's hands and tried to figure out how she managed to lose weight. And the thing is that very few people knew about this film before the film, and so people did not know that by nature it was bad. Ten extra pounds Renee scored in order to get the role of Bridget. By the way, the inflatable bra Brigitte in the film does not take off even in bed. What can you say, for the sake of the role you can recover, but there is no increase in the breast!
Gwyneth Paltrow
If the previous actresses of the movie conversion needed Radoslavs and Oscars, then Gwyneth Paltrow was hardly necessary, because the actress already had an Oscar in 1999 for the film "Shakespeare in Love". She belongs to the highest paid actresses, and in the grooms her enviable handsome Hollywood. But still in the movie "Sylvia" actress played the English poetess, a lover to drink Sylvia Plat. To impose make-up or to increase the weight did not happen - Paltrow simply played herself such as she was not caring for herself. At this step, she went only for the sake of art, because the film was not intended for critics or a mass audience, but for a narrow circle of film fans.
